I'm not even classified as a Liberal or Democrat, just an independent voter that looks at both sides. Lately the Repugs have focussed all their attention on same-sex marriage, abortion, Illegal immigrants, Religion, and gun rights. The Moderate-conservatives that might not agree with everything they stand for are labeled as leftists, socialists, communists, or un-American.
If they don't clean up their act and start being more inclusive of the Moderates and independents they will lose big-time again in 2010 and 2012!!!!!!!!!
Face the facts------------
Unless Obama screws up badly he will be in until 2016.

More people are conservative than not on the social issues you mentioned. For example, put gay marriage on the ballot and it will fail everywhere, just as it did in liberal California.
If Obama does not turn around the economy he will have a difficult time being re-elected. It will all come down to the economy.

It's waaaay too early to determine if Obama has a good shot at being re-elected. I'm concerned with the direction our country is headed but only time will tell how effective or ineffective his leadership will be.
"Real quick", huh? It took about two years for the economy to come back to life after Reagan took office in 1981. We're in the middle of the worst economy since 1929. Only a fool would believe that Obama can fix the economy within a few months.
Socialism has never worked,its been tried many times and always failed.
Only fools try the same thing and expect different results.
Right now, I feel like three and a half years will not be enough for him to accomplish much and it seems like his efforts to "fix" the economy may not be working after all, at least not quickly enough. I feel like the next three and half years will fly by with the way the economy is, and people will either give him another four years or look for something totally different. What is your prediction?
Obama needs to take Powell's advice. He has too many irons in the fire. Some believe this is the case because he'll probably lose a dem majority congress in 2010. I don't know if that's the case. Rather, it may be a learning curve. Either way, if he keeps on trying to do too much too soon, it will probably back fire on him.
Sorry to disappoint you. No depression; no soup lines; no 1930s replay. Oh well, guess we can't win them all...too bad.
Obama will not be reelected, unless the Republicans just fall apart and can't nominate a viable candidate, which is possible. If they can manage a well funded and well prepared candidate who is not a religious zealot, someone like Giuliani or Romney or in their mold, then I think there is a good probability that Obama is a one term prez.

Actually, the recession of 1980 and the recession of 1981 thru 1982 were considered to be separate recessions.
